The good things about social new media are that you can communicate with other people or family you don't really see every day. Social media is very useful in communication even though sometimes it could cause you in trouble or something could happen to you while talking to other people or meeting other people in there. Social media is one of the things people use the most for talking to other people or meeting other people. You always have to be careful to who you told to or what you do with social new media. sometimes you meet people who aren't who they really say they are, sometimes they're just trying to do bad things to you or talk to you, to get to know you and your family those people want to just do bad things to you or your family or someone you love. There is billions and billions of people who get in new Medias, to just do bad things others just get in it to talk to their friends. other just use it for the homework or for work etc. never date anyone online you don't know or go meet up with someone you don't even know or seen in your life don't trust anyone, you never know who they really are. Face book is a type of social media that could get you into bad things if you don't know how to use it right. For example you can be talking to people that are fake. Face book works to meet new people but you have you be careful who you talk to or it also works to stay in communication with other people face book is very useful. Twitter is better than face book in my opinion even tough twitter could still get you in problems, but not as much as face book. Never post where you’re at where you live or things like that.

My experience at HPIAM has been good; I really like this school because there’s no drama its calm. This school is always clean it’s never messy or trashy. Also, I like the principal, Mr. C is he really nice, and patient with all of us. All the staff and teachers are nice. The only thing I dislike is that we enter really early at 7:30, but what I like is that we go out at 2:35 which is a good time if I say so myself. Also, another thing I don’t like about it now is that we have to uniform, last year we didn’t have to wear uniform. This is my second year at HPIAM. I like more last year’s schedule than this year’s schedule. These years that I been here, I don’t have any problems. Another good about me moving here is that know I focus more of school and I have risen up my grades. Teachers from here at HPIAM are more helpful and they motivate me more than my last school. I really always liked all my classes here. I also like that they try to make activities for us, so it won’t be boring. They try to make school fun for us, which is a good thing about it. I think they should change the schedule like last year’s because I do really not like this one, it’s so long. HPIAM has many sports and afterschool activities you could join. I like this school more than I liked my other one. At a point I like that we are separate from the other schools, but then I don’t like it because the school is small for us, it’s only two halls for each school and we can’t go up nor down to the other schools.
